SILK.

“my personal life? not strong. but I did beat up a hydra tentacle-monster-robot-thingie. so... I got that going for me. maybe I am getting the hang of this superhero stuff.”

[punktastic]

"I know your biscuits are different but it just looks weird, mate." Hobie looked at the substance again. American Gravy didn't seem to look right. "Why's it grey?" a beat "it's like a bird's gone and shat on your plate." was that insulting? "No offense." he added.

[xmoonsilk]

Cindy was mid-chew when she just had to pause to look back up at the other man sitting across from her. "Uh... 'scuse me?" She paused to glance down at her food again before furrowing her brows. "Well what does gravy look like where you're from?"

[wadeypool]

"Don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious--" Don't be suspicious! Don't be suspicious. Wade hummed along with the voices as he carefully collected the swords, he wasn't sure who they belonged to but he wanted to play with them. He was gonna put them back! ...eventually. ...Hate to interrupt-- Oh, do you? Are we sure this is wise? Nobody cares. I do. I care. I said what I said. "shhhhhuddaaap--I'm tryna' focus." Wade hissed. there was a light thunk and he jumped, a tiny eek escaping his throat. He quickly cleared it and tried for a deeper tone "I--uh." he snapped up, standing straight. "--these are mine." wade turned in the dark room shuffling the sheathed weapons behind him. oopsies! see, this is what I was worried about. relax. it's not like we can die. No, but we can hurt.

"Evening Madam President." Wade greeted.

[xmoonsilk]

From underneath her mask, Cindy's mouth upticked to a smile mixed with confusion and amusement as she tilted her head at the red-suited man before her. "Look man, I don't want any trouble. I think I've had enough of it to last me a lifetime these past few weeks. Besides, your whole thing is messing with Spider-Man, isn't it? Not Silk."

[dontreadintoit]

"Not allergic to dogs are you? If so you should start holding your breath." Reader said handing Forey, his seeing eye dog and companion, one of the two hot dogs he just bought.

[xmoonsilk]

"Oh, no! I think dogs are great! What's his name?" Cindy paused, barely resisting the urge to just reach out and touch him. "Can I pet him? Or is he working?"

[ebcnyblade]

"Always wanted to visit New York, just thought when I did I'd be able to leave. Expectations were too high I guess?"

[xmoonsilk]

"Well, do you want any recommendations anyways? I might be able to help, unless this reality's New York is drastically different. You may as well enjoy your time here if it's gonna be forced anyways."

[amricas]

"Look, my first rule of multiversal travel is that you don't know anything. Just eat some pizza and don't lose your mind. We'll figure it out."

[xmoonsilk]

"Pizza is great and all, but I don't think I can stomach it right now. All of this is so nerve wracking."

[nexusbeings]

"You can ask as many questions as you'd like, but I can't promise answers. I can, however, offer tea. Let's start small."

[xmoonsilk]

"I'm not even sure where to begin with the questions, so tea sounds good. Tea sounds great." Reaching up to rake her hand through her hair, Cindy let out a soft sigh. "This is really bad, isn't it?"

[controlledrage]

"Yeah, I'm gonna stop you there. We can't exactly sue the multiverse. Unless you can point me in the direction of an actual person or entity, we're shit outta luck right now."

[xmoonsilk]

"Last I heard, Doctor Strange from your universe might be behind all of this. Not to throw anyone under the bus."

[capdnvrs]

"Actually, I wouldn't recommend getting any closer. Goose is..." Carol glanced towards the Flerken. "Not actually a cat. There's enough going on without bringing tentacles into the mix."

[xmoonsilk]

"... like, real tentacles? He sure looks like a cat to me."

[hawkitout]

"Can we start over? Please? It's been a weird day. Well, week. Things are just weird right now overall."

[xmoonsilk]

"Sure, I'm Silk. And you must be the mini Hawkeye from Earth-199999."

[ghstspdr]

"I feel like everyone's talking about you know what, but I'm really pulling a blank here."

[xmoonsilk]

For the first time since she'd found herself in whatever reality they'd wound up in, Cindy lowered her mask at the sight of Gwen and let out a soft sigh of relief. "And to think I thought we'd seen it all. How've you been holding up?"

[fangedwebs]

"We should all be far more concerned that proven methods of multiversal travel are not working right now. I haven't been able to open up a portal since I arrived— that's never happened before."

[xmoonsilk]

Cindy was fully suited up, and even if this guy seemed to be another spider, she still didn't lower her mask. If anything, after seeing him the other night at the meeting, she almost wished she had a full mask on her suit. He was a little intimidating, and she didn't want him to see that in her eyes. "And what kind of multiversal travel do you use, exactly? I didn't even know that was a thing."

[spiderxling]

"Maybe this is really messed up to say but— this reality seems better than the one I came from. It's so similar but it just- it feels lighter. I dunno, does that make any sense?" Peter immediately felt guilty saying that out loud, especially when there was still a possibility that they were all here because of something he did.

[xmoonsilk]

It was kind of adorable, seeing a little Peter. Cindy hadn't exactly talked to her Peter in awhile, but she didn't remember him sounding this worn down. It made her wonder what kind of stuff this kid had to deal with back on his own reality. "Yeah, that makes sense. I hope this isn't weird, but you don't need the mask around me if you wanna take it off."

Everytime Cindy felt like she got the upper hand on what the hell she was doing in her life, something was always there to throw a giant wrench into everything.

First it was saving her brother from Goblin Nation. Then, it was finding her parents. Check, and check.

Therapy seemed like it would be good for her. And it was, for awhile. Until she realized her therapist was Saya's brother, and it was all a setup. She hadn't seen Saya since the night she killed Kasha-- and honestly she wasn't sure she wanted to. It wasn't like any of that even mattered anyways, because now she found herself in another reality, with no Albert, and no Lola.

So, life was throwing her another wrench. If Cindy had learned anything, it was that she was stronger than she thought. If she could get through as much loss and whiplash as she already had, she could get through this and get herself home.

Currently, she was just sitting on the top of a vaguely familiar skyscraper in the city, staring off into the slightly different New York skyline that she'd once come to memorize like the back of her hand. Things were different here, and she'd have to navigate that if she was going to find a way back. It was nice and quiet up there for awhile as she just sat there and hugged her knees close to her chest, until she heard the sound of someone landing behind her.

When she turned and saw Felicia, she was surprised at the smile that pulled at her lips at first as she raised her eyebrows. "I feel like there's a look what the cat dragged in joke somewhere. But you are the cat, so I don't know."

[martyrdclone]

"I used to think I was unoriginal for being a clone and now I just feel unoriginal being spider-man."

[xmoonsilk]

Cindy adjusted her mask with a raise of her brow at the costumed man in front of her, shrugging softly. "You don't have to lean into the similarities if you don't want to. Maybe you're a clone, but you're still your own person."

spiidey​:

peter laughed, “yeah. not sure how i feel about being peter four, though. but whatever - it’s okay. it doesn’t matter anymore really.”

“I think it’s kinda cool that you get to meet so many you’s. The only time I met another Cindy she sucked.” Cindy quipped, smirking up at Peter as she nudged him with her elbow. “What does matter is all of this stuff going on with the Inhumans. Have you checked on Gwen or Miles recently?” She didn’t even bother to bring up Jessica. It hurt too much and Cindy was not trying to cry right now. She’d grieve alone.

“It’s vintage. Classic. I think that it works.” Lily shrugged as dark eyes observed the spider-hero. “Silk.” She smiled. “I was wondering when we’d meet. Saya speaks highly of you. She said to leave you alone. Seems lame to me, but I like her money.” The allowance that Lily got from her dad only went so far. “Personally? I think someone has a crush. Now that I’ve met you, I’m not sure why.”

“That’s me.” Cindy insisted, rolling her eyes at that comment. They already had met, technically, but Cindy wasn’t going to bring that up. She felt her stomach flutter a bit at the mention of Saya speaking highly of her. Suddenly Cindy wondered what the heiress said. Highly how? Shrugging the curiosity away, she continued to listen to Lily. “So she’s funding the Syndicate. Why?” Cindy scoffed, shaking her head. It was obvious that she was hurt by that, but she tried to contain it as she rolled her eyes at Lily’s words. Thankfully her mask covered her now flushed face. “What makes you think that?”
